Carlo / Eric,
My baby is similar from idle to about 3500 rpm. She feels
completely different than in the rest of the rev range. I think that it may
have something to do with were the torque is generated. At or above, if I
remember right, 3200rpm were the torque starts to level out and later
becomes "constant". From about that point my baby is starting to really
kick. I think it is inherent to the design, i.e. bump stick, exhaust, and
FI.
The way I avoid having to deal with that area is to keep it in a
lower gear. I generally run her at about 4000rpm everywhere, freeway,
street, etc. You really can't avoid this in first gear at a traffic light
though
Ross, might be able to give us some insight?
Thanks Eric for the feed back on the turbo setup.

is it a slight "hiccup" (for lack of a better word)? Maybe
you are feeling
the stepper motor adjust. Used to be quite noticeable on the
509, but with
the improvements to the ST fuel injection (new stepper) I
find it barely
noticeable. And of course the old Sprint was not FI you
would not have had
this feeling on it. Anyone else have any other theories ?
